Over a period of eighteen months, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the National Democratic Institute (NDI) compiled twenty case studies of party activities to promote women’s political empowerment. Drawing on those and other examples, UNDP and the NDI identified concrete steps which can be taken by political parties to promote women in political life. This publication, Empowering Women for Stronger Political Parties: A Guidebook to Promote Women’s Political Participation, is the fruit of this research, and provides concise and targeted options for political party reform.
